Now, Flipkart has put up a teaser on the home page, not only confirming the name of the smartphone, but also confirming the sale date, time and the fact that it will be sold exclusively via the e-commerce site.

Based on the teaser page, the Redmi Note 6 Pro will go on sale on Black Friday, November 23 at 12:00PM. Sadly, there is no word about the pricing or launch offers. The Redmi Note 5 Pro, was launched in India earlier this year at a price point of Rs 13,999 for the base model, and was then hiked to Rs 14,999. We can expect the Redmi Note 6 Pro to be competitive and on par with its predecessor.
